Mayor-elect Roche Of Chicago las demon
strated that the people made no mistake
when they selected him to take charge OF

make an alert newspaper man, who knows
everybody and everybody's environage and

newspaper fellows make the best advisers

The signal success of the Democratic
candidate at the local elections in New
Jersey the 18th inst. shows that steady
adherence to the Democratic principle is
appreciated by the wage earners OF the
country. There is no doubt that the firm
and judicious course OF Mayor Cleveland
during the coal strike contributed largely
to the result. The political influence of
the laboring masses naturally goes with the
Democratic party, and it will not be per-
manently alienated in any section where,
without catering to prejudice or passion,
the representatives OF the party stand for
the rights OF workingmen in time OF trial.

It is argued in some publications that
MI. Cleveland will not be renominated be-
cause he has never been west of Cleveland,
Ohio, nor south of Richmond, Virginia.
This fact served SO well to defeat him

was to nave been expected that it would
be brought up again now. A good many
ex-office holders out here in the far West
are willing to testify that he has been in

Lord Churchill Speaks,

LONDON, April 10. - Lord Churchill,
speaking at Nottingham this evening, said
if the Parnellites chose to bring an action
against the London Times they need not
trust an English jury, because they can
take the proceedings against the paper in
Ireland or Scotland. He would not! make
himself a party to the accusatian, but it
might be necessary for the House OF Com
mons, Independently of the Parnellites, to
clear itself as a body of the grave charges
made against a section of it's members.

Bismarck's recent departure for Fried

normal state of the shuttlecock of the
greater powers. The effect of the coercion
policy is noted in the great increase OF Irish
emigration to America, and the Crimes
act is pushed on toward it's final passage
with the remorse]ess persistence that is
the most striking attribute of the Tory
party of blood and iron. This is the pres
emit situation in Europe as seen from the
